but it wears out pretty fast ya?
I estimate that you will get 25-30 packs thro a 37 tire before you get to the rim! 37 is softer and wears quicker, but has more grip!

Manticore: what should i get along with the kit? i am thinking 7075 chassis, graphite upper deck, the layshaft mount in the front, Kawahara negative diff. btw the way, do you know who distribute kawahara stuff in HK?
and what about engine? i am thinking between a RB turbo 5port and a Collari 12RT 5 port... they are not the same thing, right?

dtm: are you going to the international race this weekend?

Yeah get the kyosho original option 7075 chassis. kawahara upper deck is nice but you cannot install the k factory fuel tank with it. I am using square upper deck and quite happy with it. metal mid shaft holder, metal upper deck support. metal disc brake adaptor, rear graphite shock tower, I would say the kyosho LSD on the rear is good enough.

The RB 5 port should give you good enough power. Never seen people use Collari .12 engines here. May be I have been stayed away from GP over a month.

Manticore: you have EP? are those K-factory stuff good? you mean the LCG fuel tank? you think it helps? i thought the Kawahara diff is cheaper than the Kyosho one...

Most probably not! Weather permitting I will be at PYC Saturday and resting on Sunday!

I went to MK today and left with a new RR.......... anyone want an 'almost new' stock VoneR? I will transfer the chassis plate from the RR onto it!

Yes, managed to get the last one from Jet. Also picked up the centre one-way for the RR. The K-factory alloy upper deck support in 'blue' was simply too nice to miss!

PG has one more Tech centre one-way left!

The Kyosho VDS shell is extremely thin. The sides are like 'paper' thin... not very good! But at least all the cutout marks should fit the chassis nicely!
